By request of bs13 this chapter is going to Maiko! Yeah, don't you just love emos swapping spit? Sorry bad image. For you people who like Angsty stuff this is my first shot at angst, hope it's sad enough. I have been single all my life and don't intend on getting a boyfriend anytime soon so I suck at break-up scenarios. Sorry, not much humor included.

(B/N: However, the humor you get comes in a lovely little firebending package name Zuko! This is Whitewings-chan by the way. u)

Okay, DE-MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE time:

Don't think of yourself as a ugly person, but as a beautiful monkey.

The Return of Mai

Toph's P.O.V.

"It's me, Mai."

"Wait! Hold up! I'm confused. Why are you of all people, in the middle of nowhere?" I said dropping the sack of dead duck-rabbits.

"After Zuko and I...broke up, I started traveling." Mai replied, monotonous as ever, "A few days ago I left Gaoling and I was ambushed by some robbers, easily defeated ones actually. Ty-"

"Whoa, whoa, stop right there! Tell the story when we get back to camp." Snoozles said, lifting up the now-dead ostrich-deer.

"..Fine, let me get Ty Lee and the others." Mai replied turning the opposite direction of the camp.

"Princess Sunshine's with you?" I said, picking up the sack of poultry-meat.

"I was about to say that, before Mr. I-Care-Way-Too-Much-About-My-Food, interrupted." She said sarcastically.

"Hah! Nice nickname!" I said holding out my hand for a high-five, "Oh, come on, don't leave me hanging!"

"I don't do high-fives." Gloom and Doom said turning to find the other warriors, "Wait here, I'll be only a second."

"Okay" Snoozles said, and sat down waiting for Mai to return.

Suki's P.O.V.

'I wonder...whatever happened to me and Sokka?' I thought to myself pushing through the thick forest, 'I never remember an argument or a fight.'

'Maybe...No, that happened before and Sokka was okay with it.' I continued, trying to remember a conflict between my ex and I, face scrunched in thought.

I was in mid-thought when a rusling caught my attention. I stopped to look around. There it was again. I jumped into a tree, platypus-bears were known to be common around these parts.

Instead of a bear, a girl around 18 or 19 walked up. Then, I recognized that hairstyle. Mai? What the heck was she of all people doing here. When I jumped down I tried to be silent but I landed on a small twig and Mai spun around in my direction.

"Well if it isn't Suki!" Mai said, looking slightly...happy?

"Yeah, Mai? What are you of all people doing here?" I said standing up from my crouching position.

"Ha! That's exactly what your boyfriend asked." Mai replied, smirking.

I looked down at the ground with a loss for words. I don't like the remembering that moment.

~FLASHBACK~

Sokka was acting strange lately, avoiding direct conversations with anyone. He would barely look anyone in the eyes.

We were in the Fire Nation at the time, so Aang and Zuko could settle some dispute or something about an angry merchant yammering about kids destroying his cabbages.

I had found him on a cliff on the west side of the place. The sun was setting and the sky was a weird color of pink.

"Sokka? Are you okay, you've been avoiding physical contact for a week." I asked him worried for him.

"Suki...I've been thinking and...we need to talk." He said not caring to look in my direction.

Well these things never ended well, "Okay..." I replied, nervously taking a seat beside him. Both our feet were dangling over the orange tinted waves.

"I've been thinking." He stated, looking into the sky, "I used to think...I thought I loved you but now I'm not so sure."

"We've gone our separate ways more than once. Moreover, things haven't been going well for our relationship and.." He continued turning his head away from mine, "I think we should take a break from each other for a while."

"You're..." I stared straight ahead, eyes not really seeing and in a numb sort of shock, similar to slow acting poison, " ...you're not kidding...are you...?"

"No..." My former boyfriend replied sadly, still avoiding direct eye contact, "I'm not. I'm sorry, Suki...really I am...but...it's...over."

"Don't apologize! ….Just...don't try and make the pain go away...with weak-willed words...it hurts even more..." I whispered weakly through my streaming tears, fleeing from his side trying to get away before I completely break down, I cried harder with every step I took.

That night Katara and Aang gave me their undivided attention, comforting me. They even dedicated staying up all night with me, letting me cry my heart out to them. The couple didn't complain about how wet their robes got from my tears and just sat there helping me through the burning, searing pain.

'We'll always be here for you.' was all they said, and it was enough those words helped more than any apology could have,...but still I couldn't stop the warm, wet tears from streaming down my face. When everything came crashing down... I know my real friends truly would always be there.

~BACK TO REALITY~

"Did I miss something?" Mai asked observing my little 'zone-out'.

"Yeah...Sokka and I broke up." I said shuffling my feet uncomfortably.

"I feel you, thats not easy." Mai said, probably remembering her personal experience.

"Why are you here?" I asked, trying desperately to change the subject.

"I'll tell you later. I just ran into Toph and Sokka. I'll tell the story to everyone at camp, help me get Ty Lee and the others." Mai replied motioning me to come with her.

"Okay." I sighed, following her lead into the wood.

Zuko's P.O.V.

"TOOOOOPH! SOOOOKKA!" I yell to apparently no one. I kept walking for a time yelling out before giving up.

"I better just head back to camp." I mused aloud, "So much for finding Toph... Oh, and Sokka..."

I followed the light of the fire that Aang had kept going.

"Zuko! Did you find Toph?!" Katara asked as soon as I set foot in the camp, "Oh...and My brother."

"I bet you care so much about your brother." I replied sarcastically, trying not roll my eyes.

"Well, thanks for the sympathy." Sokka said stepping out from the foliage.

"Sokka! Where's Toph?" I yelled running up to him.

"Thanks for worrying about me, but Toph's right here." The non-bender replied, motioning with the killed animal to the bush next to him.

" 'Sup Fireflake..." The bush asked me,

"Agghhh! TALKING BUSH!" I screamed jumping into Aang's arms, knocking him over, me going with him.

"Get off me Zuko, because personally I prefer to get tackled by fangirls and that's saying something!" Aang wheezed from under me.

"It's me dummy!" Toph said stepping out of the bush.

"I-I knew that." I said quickly, getting off Aang.

"Of course you did Zuko!" Aang said with a mock smile, brushing himself off.

"...Suki's with us, you guys don't have to worry about her at all." Toph remarked sarcastically, "Oh, and Fireflake we brought some others with us."

As if on cue, Suki, Mai, Ty Lee and the other Warriors stepped out of the woods.

"Mai!" I yelled, kneeling at her feet, "If you're here to kill me, make it quick and painless please."

"I'm not here to kill you, smarty pants." She said sarcastically. "We were in the area and I happened to stumble upon these two." She said gesturing to Sokka and Toph.

"Okay, make yourselves comfortable, dinner soon." Katara said being polite.

"Um...Sokka? You did catch something right?" Katara questioned, after the warriors and other sat by the fire.

"Oh Yeah! I almost forgot, look what we caught! Toph exclaimed, shoving the bag of dead duck-rabbits to my feet.

"AHH! DUCKS!" I screamed knocking Aang and I over again.

"Geezus, Zuko! I just stood up. Can't I stay vertical for at least five freaking seconds!?" Aang complained.

"Baby." I said pouting and crossing my arms.

"You are the one who is afraid of turtles, and apparently ducks too." Suki said smugly.

"Be quiet woman, men are talking. Besides it was a mother turtle-duck, F.Y.I." I said getting off Aang for the second time tonight.

"Whatever." Aang remarked, rolling his eyes and brushing himself off, again.

"Alright! Katara can you make dinner out of this?" Sokka asked, eagerly holding up the ostrich-deer.

"Yes, but I already made dinner. One that doesn't include as much meat, for some people that don't eat it." She replied.

"Oh right. Sorry Aang." Sokka apologized, sheepishly scratching the back of his neck.

"So, Mai how did you get here?" Katara asked, sitting down by the fire.

"Well, it's a funny story..." She laughed, beginning to tell the tale.

Everything was getting blurry and words slurred so I took the hint and fell asleep.

Okay I know I know I should tell the tale, but right now I need to do some home work. Tear. Next chapter will be more Tokka-ish. I am always open to any ideas for the story.
